Sovereign immunity is broader in some states than others.  Texas has long had a broad version of sovereign immunity which requires, in most cases, express consent by the state before it can even be sued.  "A lack of immunity may hamper governmental functions by requiring tax resources to be used for defending lawsuits ... rather than using those resources for their intended purposes," ''City of El Paso v. Heinrich'', 284 S.W.3d 366, 372 (Tex. 2009) (quoting ''Reata Constr. Corp.'', 197 S.W.3d at 375).
